CHAMBER   Legislative Agenda

Each year, the Council of Chambers of Commerce, comprised of the York County Regional Chamber, Greater Clover, Lake Wylie and York chambers, formally present its Legislative Agenda to South Carolina legislators during its annual York County Day event in Columbia .

For over 20 years, the business community through the chambers have come together to speak as one to state legislators on key legislative issues facing York County. All four chambers work closely together to review and analyze pending legislation that is likely to come before the General Assembly.
